Abstract

A strap assembly including at least one strap configured to removably mount on a handle portion of a drill, to removably twist 180° and mount on a rear end portion of the drill, and to removably mount on a rear body portion of the drill.

What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A hand-held power drill and strap assembly comprising: 
       a hand-held power drill; and  
       at least one strap having a first end portion coupled to a second end portion, wherein the at least one strap is removably mounted on a handle portion of the drill, wherein the at least one strap is removably twisted 180° so that the at least one strap crosses itself on a rear end portion of the drill, and wherein the at least one strap is removably mounted on a rear body portion of the drill.  
     
     
       2. The hand-held power drill and strap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one strap is continuous. 
     
     
       3. The hand-held power drill and strap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one strap is elastic. 
     
     
       4. The hand-held power drill and strap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein a slip resistant backing is coupled to at least a portion of an inner side of the at least one strap on the rear body portion of the drill. 
     
     
       5. The hand-held power drill and strap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one strap is further removably mounted on a trigger of the drill to maintain the trigger in a depressed position. 
     
     
       6. The hand-held power drill and strap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one strap is twisted 360° about a longitudinal axis extending from the first end portion to the second end portion prior to coupling the first end portion to the second end portion such that the at least one strap lies flat against itself and the drill. 
     
     
       7. The hand-held power drill and strap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one strap overlaps itself to form at least two strap portions. 
     
     
       8. The hand-held power drill and strap assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the at least two strap portions are coupled along a plurality of lateral lines thereby forming sleeves. 
     
     
       9. The hand-held power drill and strap assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the at least two strap portions are removably separated along the handle portion of the drill to cushion the handle portion. 
     
     
       10. The hand-held power drill and strap assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the at least one strap is twisted 360° about a longitudinal axis extending from the first end portion to the second end portion prior to overlapping itself to form the at least two strap portions and to coupling the first end portion to the second end portion such that the at least two strap portions lie flat against themselves and the drill. 
     
     
       11. The hand-held power drill and strap assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one strap comprises an outer strap overlapping an inner strap, wherein the outer strap and the inner strap each have a first end portion at least coupled to a second end portion, wherein the outer strap and the inner strap each are removably mounted on the handle portion of the drill, wherein the outer strap and the inner strap each are twisted 180° so that the outer strap and the inner strap each cross themselves on the rear end portion of the drill, and wherein the outer strap and the inner strap each are removably mounted on the rear body portion of the drill. 
     
     
       12. The hand-held power drill and strap assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the outer strap and the inner strap each are continuous. 
     
     
       13. The hand-held power drill and strap assembly of  claim 11 , wherein a slip resistant backing is coupled to at least a portion of an inner side of the inner strap around the rear body portion of the drill. 
     
     
       14. The hand-held power drill and strap assembly of  claim 11 , wherein at least one of the outer strap and the inner strap is removably mounted on a trigger of the drill to maintain the trigger in a depressed position. 
     
     
       15. The hand-held power drill and strap assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the outer strap and the inner strap are coupled along a plurality of lateral lines thereby forming sleeves. 
     
     
       16. The hand-held power drill and strap assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the outer strap and the inner strap are removably separated along the handle portion of the drill to cushion the handle portion. 
     
     
       17. The hand-held power drill and strap assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the outer strap and the inner strap are simultaneously twisted 360° about a longitudinal axis extending from the first end portions to the second end portions prior to coupling the first end portions at least to the second end portions such that the outer strap and the inner strap lie flat against themselves and the drill.
